    Tad Sae Waterfall does not get as many visitors as other Laotian waterfalls, though it is quite popular with locals. It is a bit harder to get to, taking a tuk tuk to the Nam Khan River and then a 10-minute boat ride. The main reason people visit the cascading waterfalls is for the swimming. It is nicer than other waterfalls as well as offers an opportunity to swim with elephants.

  • Mount Phousi

    Mount Phousi is a good place to watch the sun rise or set over this city. It is located inside the city of Luang Prabang, in fact, it is not really a mountain because it is a 140-meter high hill that is home to several Buddhist shrines and temples.
    There are hundreds of steps to negotiate, but the climb is gentle enough for anyone who is in reasonable health. For a complete experience, go up Mount Phousi on one side and use the other set of steps to make your way down again. You can pray and make offerings at several temples along the way.

    There are also several safe spots to swim. There is also a treehouse spa where you can treat yourself to a massage, as well as a bee farm on site, which means you can take home some freshly potted honey.

    This trek begins at a Hmong village and takes you through rubber plantations, past rice paddies and over jungle-covered hills. Depending on the time of year and conditions, it usually takes 3-4 hours. About an hour into the trek you will come across a beautiful natural spring, which makes for a good spot to stop and have a snack. The final destination is the world famous Kuang Si Waterfall where you can cool down in the pools after your big hike.
